Pro’s and Con’s, BigDave. I haven’t had a Take Away in years! On the other hand, I do get squirrels, foxes, and badgers in the garden, especially during the various dispersal phases. Neighbour often gets roe deer, too, and they’re a nuisance.
As I write there’s a squirrel siting on the Bird Table pinching all the Sunflower hearts. There woods around here are not commercial, so feeding the squirrels is not a problem.
